| New York Working to Lessen Youth Hunting Barriers |
|
From U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance -- Youth hunting restrictions in New York could be reduced if the New York State Assembly passes a pending measure. Senate Bill 1284, introduced by Senator Dale Volker (R-Depew), will allow 14- and 15-year-olds to hunt big game with a firearm under mentored conditions. The bill is based on the Families Afield initiative started by the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance (USSA), National Shooting Sports Foundation and National Wild Turkey Federation. New York has the most restrictive regulations for youth hunting in the country. Research conducted by Families Afield partners revealed that recruitment efforts are much more successful in states where parents decide when their sons and daughters begin to hunt. At the same time, the research demonstrated that hunting is actually safer in states where parents have more discretion.
